Hi sir madam I got a getz and theirs a sound coming from the front not sure is it the tensioner or the tappets how can i digonoise

If it is the belt tensioner you are referring to, remove the belt and start the engine. If the noise goes away it will be the tensioner. If the noise stays, it could be the tappets

did you remember to release the hold in tag for the hydraulic tensioner after you installed it.

Hi guys, I just want to now if someone can tell me if a hyundai getz 1600 16v 2004 can bent valves if the cambelt snaps. I did put a new cambelt on and tensioner. It start but misfiring and a soft tickking noise from the head. Hope you can advise me please. Thanks

drain the oil flush the engine then put in good grade of oil the tappet is sticking as hyundais have trouble getting oil round the engine this wont stop the problem but will make the noise go away until you can get the tappet replaced

first of all take out tappet pan cover,turn engine clockwise until #1camshaft are closed(intake and exhaust lobe are opposite each other)on the crank shaft pulley there is a little cut it should line up on the front plate 0 if not the pulley damper is off just make sure #1 camshaft lobes are closed. now on the realease the two tensioner bolt on cylinder head (tensioner located above deisel pump on the cylinder head) take it out unbolt front plate pull sprocket out ,chain unbolt guide. now when putting back chain all slack to go on tensioner side .when you take the tensioner in your hand there is somthing holding back the teeth press with fingers and push the teeth inn hook it with hook now put on tensioner turn engine 1revulusion to see spining free

The tensioner is NOT spring loaded - it's adjusted by the technician who installed it. Take it back and tell them to FIX IT!

It can be broken baring wheel on waterpump,you can change pupm, belts tensioners. Or it can be hidro valve- which engine oil do you use. Use not 5w30-its too thin ,better use 5w40 or 10w40. Zoran Vrgec, Osijek, Croatia
